Since then, it has been adapted as a stage play entitled “Jeans Generation” and translated into German, Dutch, Italian, Greek and Croatian; receiving brilliant reviews everywhere. The novel is based upon an electrifying and tragic event in 1983. Gega Kobakhidze, a young actor, and seven friends hijack an airplane heading from Tbilisi to Leningrad. They desperately want to flee from the USSR and go to Turkey. They fail, are imprisoned and a number are killed. All of Georgia and the world were caught up in these events. Turashvili is a master of drama, with a precise and compelling sense of dialogue, his characterizations are complex but powerful, his story-line is totally engrossing, and we do not want to believe the inevitable and disastrous conclusion. He weaves a gripping literary work between historical fact and fiction, leaving the reader transfixed.","brand":"Mosaic Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53190352601431,"sku":"9781771611565","price":13.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/flight-from-the-ussr-9781771611565","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
